"A moving, lyrical cyclone of a book. This is a novel of bodies and families, ghosts and doubles, failures of presence and absence. I lingered on every page, until reminded of the miracle that even more waited ahead, underneath, around, within." --Jac Jemc, author of Empty Theatre and The Grip of It

"On the surface it's a sea tale, but deeper it's something else. A fantasy mother who mummifies her children, a fantasy father always at sea, and a feast of other oddities. It's a masterfully-written book that will make you think more than twice about everything." --David Ohle, author of Motorman
